In order to avoid kickbacks, the following

when plunge cutting:
– Always position the machine with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, position
the machine at the FS-RSP kickback stop
(accessory) [11-4], which is clamped to the
guide rail.

position it at a stop (kickback stop).

rear cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 160 mm)
when using the saw at maximum cutting depth
with the guide rail.
8.11 Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards
Due to the high volume of dust, it is recommen­
ded to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accessories)
